• Dark Age Ahead

Jane Jacobs' Dark Age Ahead explores the potential for societal decline in the modern world. Jacobs argues that the foundations of our civilization t?family and community, higher education, science and technology, self-regulation of professions, and representative government t?are showing signs of decay, potentially leading to a "dark age" where knowledge is lost and progress stalls.

Drawing parallels with historical collapses, Jacobs emphasizes safeguarding these core institutions. This thought-provoking book warns against threats to our collective well-being, questioning the sustainability of our current path and prompting a deeper examination of our values.
